PFAS in Auger-Saint-Vincent's tap water: under 4 ng/L, none of the four main PFAS detected
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
No PFAS detected
The lab sees nothing below 4 ng/L, 8 times our benchmark of 0.5 ng/L. Water above our benchmark would pass this check unnoticed.
0.5 ng/L is our benchmark, not an official limit. Same EFSA method as Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands, but stricter. It's a yearly average, compared here with the latest check.
Sample taken in Gilocourt, on the same distribution network as Auger-Saint-Vincent (AUGER SAINT VINCENT). The health authority samples one tap per network; a network carries the same treated water everywhere.
More about this result
The US also limits PFOA and PFOS to 4 ng/L each, per substance.
The lab detects each of the four substances from 1 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 4 ng/L rather than zero.

In Auger-Saint-Vincent, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 27 March 2026. The total is below 4 ng/L, the sum of the detection limits and 8 times our 0.5 ng/L benchmark. Sum of 20 PFAS: <0,029 µg/L, below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Gilocourt, on the same network. 2 checks since 20 May 2025, sum of 20 PFAS always below the detection limit (29 ng/L).

PFAS over time in Auger-Saint-Vincent
2 PFAS checks since 20 May 2025, from the published measurements. Samples from 2 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Auger-Saint-Vincent.
“Calculated”: PFAS-4 worked out from the four substances in the same sample. The chart, averages and trends use lab-published sums only.
| Date | PFAS-4 | Sum of 20 PFAS | Sampled at |
|---|---|---|---|
| < 4 ng/L | < 29 ng/L | Gilocourt | |
| < 4 ng/L · calculated | < 100 ng/L | Auger-Saint-Vincent |
Calculated values: “<” is an upper bound from published thresholds, “≥” a lower bound, “–” means no published sum or complete measurement. How to read a PFAS result

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Auger-Saint-Vincent safe to drink?
At the latest check, the water was over at least one limit. “Eau d'alimentation non-conforme aux limites de qualité en vigueur pour les paramètres desphényl-chloridazone, méthyl-desphényl-chloridazone, chlorothalonil R417888, total pesticides et présentant des dépassements de la valeur indicative de 0,9 µg/L pour le chlorothalonil R471811. Toutefois, cette eau est propre à la consommation humaine car la concentration des pesticides concernés reste inférieure aux valeurs sanitaires. Un contrôle renforcé est mis en place.”
How high are PFAS levels in Auger-Saint-Vincent's drinking water?
At the latest check the total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was below the laboratory's reporting limit of 29 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is under 29 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Auger-Saint-Vincent also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
As far as this check can tell, yes. None of the four compounds was quantified, so their total is below 4 ng/L, the sum of the laboratory's detection limits, and under Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L in force since 2026.
Are PFAS levels rising in Auger-Saint-Vincent's tap water?
Calculated PFAS-4 values are listed in the table. The chart uses laboratory-published sum-of-20 results; there are too few laboratory-published PFAS-4 sums for the existing trend calculation.
How hard is the water in Auger-Saint-Vincent?
The water hardness in Auger-Saint-Vincent is 37.4 °f (hard). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
Where does this data come from?
